Help me pick my new wheels!

*Mods Please Leave this thread here!* Thanks

Its been a year or so with the SSRs and I'm ready for a change. I'd like some input from the 5th Gen community on what you guys would like to see on my car. Here is what I'm looking for: 19-20" 35-40 offset no chrome. The rest is up to you. I'd like something fairly new, I've put some thought into the new Axis Hiros in gunmetal, but they are too common already. Even though its ricey, I wouldn't mind a staggered setup. I'm going to keep my current wheels...so the budget on this second setup isn't any more than $2500. So no Volk/HRE/iForged sorry guys. I'm open for all opinions, I'll look into each option. Thanks for your time.

The AXIS Super Mesh are awsome i saw a black 350Z with them the other night and even though i hated the ride of 19 i think that rims in 19x8.5 will be in my future.

i love my HPR5s and so does everyone else who sees them. i just wish i would have gone with the 19s now. of course go with gunmetal with yours or get them custom like your SSR's.

Enkei RPO1s, I'm looking at getting 18" RPO1s. They are mega light compared to any of the wheels you guys have shown here, but maybe the SSRs- maybe.

i got them from Big H (post #14). Great guy to deal with and had them in less than a week. I paid about $685 shipped for the wheels. 19s were not that much more but i didnt have the money at the time for the 19s.





the wheels do not look that small in person. cardomain just shrinks down the pictures so much.

I agree with the Racing Hart J8s and I'll add the Racing Hart CP-F Tune. I don't know if it comes in a fitment outside the 350Z yet but it's one of the sweetest wheels I've ever seen and absolutely no one else will have it.

Man I got the HP Racing EVOS and sometimes I wish I got the HRP 5's. I got my EVOS for like 440 shipped so I got a prettys sweet deal. 685 shipped is a good freakin price though. I don't think you can beat the looks, quality, weight, and price of any HP Racing wheel.
